Yeah, "That Girl" was I think the first single career-woman starring in a sitcom. But Sam was the opposite of a feminist -- she subordinated her powers to Darrin, for some stupid reason. She could have used them all she wanted if she were married to me. Fly to Rome for lunch? Wiggle the nose, Sam, and off we go.
And that is why I think Sam was less powerful than Jeannie. If I had those powers, boy oh boy oh boy...... Jeannie did what she did, got in trouble later, Sam did what she did to avoid getting in trouble.
